Snickerdoodle Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

by michelleandelskitchen on February 21, 2012

Snickerdoodle cookies are my favorite cookies of all time, so I figured I’d have to expand on this. I decided to try making a Snickerdoodle Cake with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting. I couldn’t find a recipe anyplace, so I took the cookie recipe and combined it with a boxed cake recipe.

Snickerdoodle Cake

Ingredients:

vegetable shortening for greasing the pans

Flour for dusting the pan

1 package (16 oz) of yellow cake mix

1/2 cup whole milk

8 tbsp (1 stick) butter, melted

3 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

2 tsp ground cinnamon

First prep your pan with shortening and flour, and pre-heat your oven per package directions.

Mix the rest of the ingredients together with a hand mixer or with a stand mixture, then poor into the bunt pan (can make any type of cake really, just follow package directions for each type of pan)

For the bunt cake I baked at 350 degrees for 33 minutes. Test the cake with a toothpick, and if it comes out clean, it’s ready. Let cool for about 15 minutes before removing from the pan.

I love snickerdoodles! Thanks for your comment on my blog, Apricot Croissant! I hope you check back to see my break down of how to shop economically for local, organic and fresh foods! It should be up by mid-March.
